In Bonnievale town.
Although the place was tidy, it had a very "old" smell. Could be that it has not been used for a long time. The grill is rusted and we wouldn't be able to use it. It looks nice in the pictures, but it had a completely different feel when we got there. It road quite noisy as the other people said on their feedback. There are many safety instructions left, e.g. if you want to sit in front of the river and have a barbecue, it is said to please close everything at the back. Each door also has a "padlock" below and above as well as security gates. It made one wonder how safe it is there. If you are 4 adults and the cost :split", it is probably worth it. However, we were 2 people and we could have chosen a much better place on the river, closer to the wine farms for R100 or R200 more per night.

Good morning,
I'm not sure if I replied to your review.
Thank you for your great rating. In summer when the river is low we all have the mosquito & plant life problem. As the cottage is self-catering we do not provide coffee/tea etc. but we do leave a free bottle of welcome wine in the fridge. We will add this to our booking-in information sheet, so guests know to provide their own coffee etc.
We hope to welcome you back again soon.
Warm regards
Chantel

Rustigste kuier met al die nodigste voorsien.

Quietest visit with all the essentials provided.
There were puzzles to solve, a whole bookshelf of books to read, the lovely porch to sit on and enjoy the lapping of the water with the birds. There are bedside lamps next to the beds and all channels when you want to watch TV and it's close to the town but on the side. We will definitely go again to ride the boat!

Thank you for your feedback.
The loose stepping stone has been fixed and we will keep the railing in mind for a future project - a great idea. We are looking forward to welcome you again in future.
Warm regards, Chantel.

Absoluut puik! Daar was selfs 'n komplimentêre bottel wyn in die yskas en honderde voëls wat saam met jou daar slaap.

Great! There even was a complimentary bottle of wine and hundreds of birds that sleep there with you.
The area is picture perfect, some of the best wine in the country. The boat ride on the river was great.

A nice peaceful getaway.
It was a lovely peaceful and comfortable stay. The cottage is very fully equipped. My kids really enjoyed the Jenga! A few comments: The view from the stoep is no longer as in the photos. The trees and bushes have almost overgrown the view of the river. The jetty is smaller than we thought and you can't fish there. The reeds around the jetty don't make it possible anyway. It would be very nice if it was developed a little further. The boat cannot be used because it is heavy and has to be carried downhill and lowered into the river from the jetty. We weren't sure if we would get it back up the bank, so preferred not to use it. In any case, we had a very nice stay.

Baie dankie vir julle terugvoer ek is so bly julle het die wegbreek by Shady Creek Cottage geniet asook die speletjies wat voorsien word sodat ons die tegnologie bietjie kan neersit! Dit is voorwaar 'n juweel van 'n plekkie!
Die jetty is tans onder konstruksie en sal binnekort groter en baie gemakliker wees, wat die oopsny van die allewige riete en bosse insluit . Ons sal julle graag weer ontvang en bederf sodra die jetty gereed is. Jammer vir die ongerief.
Vriendelike Groete

Pleasant, but very regimental and unfortunately road works a distraction.
Shady Creek Cottage 's response
Good day,
Thank you for your review, we are happy that you enjoyed the beauty of the cottage. We do not provide coffee/tea/sugar and milk at the cottage.
We are also looking forward to a new Main Road that will ensure a short trip into mid town Bonnievale, the roadworks has been going on for almost 2 years and should be mostly finished by the end of 2018!
So sorry about the shower not working, we were not aware of the problem - my number is displayed in the cottage and I am available 24/7 for guests in any emergency.
We would gladly welcome you again at Shady Creek Cottage in future - when our roadworks is finished and the access is easier :), thank you for your valuable feedback.
With warm regards,
Chantel

Good day Pat,
We are so sorry about your unpleasant experience. We are not always aware of where the roadworks will be as they move around from week to week or day to day. We would love to welcome you at Shady Creek Cottage again in future when the roadworks are done, so you can experience the true peace and serenity that all our guests experience and bring them back time after time.
With warm regards,
Chantel
